we can get some buildfarm feedback about whether that function is still
problematic. (Note that the planned async-preread patch will not really
prove anything one way or the other in buildfarm testing, since it will
be inactive with default GUC settings.)
the * character at the beginning of a pattern, and it does not match
subdomains.
Since this means we no longer need fnmatch, remove the imported implementation
from port, along with the autoconf check for it.
This basically takes some build system code that was previously labeled
"Solaris" and ties it to the compiler rather than the operating system.

vintage Linux is even more broken than we realized: a link to libreadline
will succeed, and fail only at runtime. It seems that an AC_TRY_RUN test
is the only reliable way to check whether this is really safe. Per report
from Tatsuo.
shared libraries. We've tried this before and had problems with libreadline
not linking properly on some platforms, but that seems to be a libreadline
bug that may have been fixed by now. In any case, it's early enough in the
8.4 devel cycle that we can afford to have some transient breakage while
we work out any portability problems.
On Darwin, we try -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs, which seems to be the equivalent
incantation there.
any hardcoding of those options. Along the way, reorder the expression used to
calculate RELSEG_SIZE to make it slightly clearer. For now wal_segsize is only
allowed to have a value of 1 on Windows - we can relax that when we get full
large file support in the backend.
let XLOG_BLCKSZ and XLOG_SEG_SIZE be set via configure. Per a proposal by
Mark Wong, though I thought it better to call the switches after "wal" rather
than "xlog".
support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c. Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to
segmenting with a suitably large segment size. So instead provide a
configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes.
While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

which is a global variable not a function, and so the probe failed on machines
where the linker makes a distinction (cf. Red Hat bug #444317). Probe for
an actual function instead.
where Datum is 8 bytes wide. Since this will break old-style C functions
(those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or
results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain
the old pass-by-reference behavior. Likewise, provide a configure option
to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change.

This requires a working 64-bit integer type. If such a type cannot
be found, "--disable-integer-datetimes" can be used to switch
back to the previous floating point-based datetime implementation.
This prevents compiler optimizations that assume overflow won't occur, which
breaks numerous overflow tests that we need to have working. It is known
that gcc 4.3 causes problems and possible that 4.1 does. Per my proposal
of some time ago and a recent report from Kris Jurka.
Backpatch as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch conveniently goes.
7.x was pretty short of overflow tests anyway, so it may not matter there,
even assuming that anyone cares whether 7.x builds on recent gcc.
than dividing them into 1GB segments as has been our longtime practice. This
requires working support for large files in the operating system; at least for
the time being, it won't be the default.

- Change configure.in to use Autoconf 2.61 and update generated files.
- Update build system and documentation to support now directory variables
offered by Autoconf 2.61.
- Replace usages of PGAC_CHECK_ALIGNOF by AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF, now available
in Autoconf 2.61.
- Drop our patched version of AC_C_INLINE, as Autoconf now has the change.
